Plasma Hearth Melting

Plasma Hearth Melting

A Retech PAM Cold Hearth furnace uses an electrically excited gas, typically Helium or Argon, to melt reactive and refractory metals in a sealed chamber, under inert atmosphere and offer significant cost savings by eliminating the need for electrode welding and primary Vacuum Arc Remelting. As with all Retech furnaces, each can be designed for a wide range of sizes, from a few pounds to many tons, as well as configured with one or multiple torches, feed systems and withdrawal chambers for production of everything from ingots and powder to castings. Utilizing state-of-the-art Plasma melting technology is an excellent option for processing a wide range of reactive and refractory metals and alloys.
